Sometimes we have a method that does some business logic and it always throws a known exception. One example can be if a user tried to login unsuccessfully, we want to log that information and always throw a custom exception which the clients catch and handle accordingly. In such case there is a simple coding pattern that makes the code look cleaner.
This is an example without the coding pattern applied. See below with the pattern.
public void handleLoginFailure(String CustomExceptionMessage) throws CustomException{ //do some logic before throwing the CustomException throw new CustomException(CustomExceptionMessage); } public void testMethod() throws CustomException{ handleLoginFailure("username and password invalid"); }
This is an example with the coding pattern applied. Now someone reading testMethod() knows that handleLoginFailure() always throws an exception thus simplyfing the code readability.
public CustomException handleLoginFailure (String CustomExceptionMessage) { //do some logic before throwing the CustomException return new CustomException(CustomExceptionMessage); } public void testMethod() throws CustomException{ throw handleLoginFailure("username and password invalid"); }
